The last really big rugby weekend kicks off with another Friday night match, this time hosted in Pretoria, where the Bulls take on Western Province, a match that can either allow the Bulls a chance to qualify for the play-offs, or completely rule that out.

The Bulls will look forward to getting a few Springboks back next weekend, where they are slowly running out of loose forwards to play, dipping as deep as Jean Cook starting in the 7 jersey. They do however have Bjorn Basson back on the wing, and he can turn a game on its head all on his own, so do not write off the Bulls just yet.

WP come off a good over Griquas at Newlands, and will hope for a good performance on the night to get them back in the reckoning for a home play-off. Results tomorrow in both games could leave them in with a shot.
